Sir,
How can I know that in particular sentence a verb is transitive or intransitive?
e.g
He went home.
He ran a long distance.
Thanks.

verb
Sir,
I have read from a dictionary that a transitive verb takes object and intransitive verb does not take object.
but in followinf sentences I have some confusion e.g
I ran a long distance.
I=subject
ran =verb
a long distance=? is it object?.
Thanks.
